Let’s talk University of Louisville Cardinal football … in depth.
First, Quincy University. It is the cutest little university you ever saw. Very old Franciscan school. Located in West Central Illinois, in a town of about 45,000. Peaceful. Two excellent ice cream parlors and an outstanding bakery. Cute little stadium (ummm … maybe 2,500), NAIA football. No marching band. Cute little football team. .
What’s that got to do with Cardinal football? Listen up. Little teeny NAIA Quincy U just knocked off our next opponent in overtime Thursday night at jampacked Indiana State Memorial Stadium (7,216) by a score of 26-20. Yeah, big-time football.
That means….uh… if the Cards lose to Indiana State….
Had enough?
The Sycamores did jump out to a 17-0 lead in that game. Who knows why they couldn’t score but 3 points in the remaining three quarters. I chalk it up to a terrible football team that will have absolutely no chance in PJCS on Saturday.
Quincy goes to SouthEast Missouri next… to shock the world again?
Not about to happen, Tom. The journey back has to begin somewhere.
